OA RISE is hosting a Body Image, Relationships and Sexuality Workshop on Sunday, January 3, 2021 from 1 :00 - 4:00 pm PST.

The “Body Image, Relationships and Sexuality Workshop” is based on OA’s new book by the same title. Once we are abstinent and have worked the steps, these three topics come into sharper focus.

Body Image: Many of us have struggled to accept and love our bodies. The good news is that we can indeed learn to stop verbal and physical self-abuse and become willing to love ourselves and our bodies in recovery. The happy result is freedom to move, live and grow!

Relationships: Bill Wilson said that relationships have been the primary cause of our unhappiness and nothing could yield more satisfying results than to learn how to “live in the greatest peace, partnership and brotherhood with all men and women…” (AA 12& 12, page 77.) Thankfully this is very possible and leads to a life beyond our wildest dreams.

Sexuality: Then, as we recover from body image and relationship issues, we delve further into one of the most intimate parts of our lives—our sexuality. Can we love ourselves, HP, and others fearlessly and express and receive that love while being true to ourselves? One definition of recovery is “learning how to be intimate with our HP, with ourselves and with others…how far are we willing to go when we choose recovery?” (Body Image, Relationships and Sexualtiy, page 47)

Yes…the age of miracles is still with us and we can be rocketed into the 4th dimension of the spirit in all three of these areas!
